English and French translations and transcription of an interview with the weaver AID about the dyeing process

English & French translations of the interview with the weaver AID, who escribes the process of dyeing with Philenoptera cyanescens leaves, which he learned from his mother and which he practices himself: processing fresh leaves, making potash, preparing the dye bath in a pottery, soaking the loincloths or yarns. He provides details on the proportions of the ingredients, on the evaluation of the quality of the dye by tasting it, on the potash, and then on the different stages already mentioned. He concludes by stressing the fact that no one uses the leaves of Indigofera sp. in the region.
